careem launches ai tool to convert grocery lists to online orders

Careem—the “everything app” for the Middle East — has introduced an AI-powered feature to simplify grocery shopping through its service. The new Grocery List tool allows users to upload a photo of a handwritten list or enter items manually, which the system then scans and converts into a curated set of product matches.

The tool uses AI to extract individual items from a list — typed or photographed — and presents customers with a single, scrollable page of suggested products. Users can then review, edit, and check out their order in one step, removing the need to search for items manually.

Chase Lario, VP of Careem Groceries, said the goal was to “remove unnecessary steps” and make the process as “efficient and intuitive” as possible. The tool is designed to support time-pressed customers looking for a faster way to handle routine grocery needs.

The feature is now available within the Careem app under the “Groceries” section. It builds on Careem’s existing grocery delivery service, which operates in Dubai and Abu Dhabi with fulfilment times averaging 15 minutes. Careem Plus members continue to receive free delivery alongside benefits across other categories, including rides, food, and domestic services.

The update reflects a wider push among mobility and delivery platforms to integrate AI for practical, time-saving applications in everyday services.

samsung's galaxy watch 9 and ultra 2 specs leak ahead of unpacked

Samsung’s next smartwatches have little left to hide. A new leak reported by Android Authority has surfaced most of the remaining details about the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, just over a week before the company’s Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22.

The biggest change is an invisible one: Samsung is expected to drop its own Exynos W1000 chip in favor of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite SW6100, a chipset unveiled only this year, according to the outlet.

Battery capacity looks like the other notable upgrade. Citing a report from Winfuture, Android Authority says the Watch Ultra 2 could reach 800mAh, well beyond the 590mAh cell in the current Watch Ultra. The 44mm Watch 9 reportedly gets a 445mAh cell — the same capacity as last year’s Watch 8 Classic — while the 40mm model stays at 325mAh.

The 40mm Watch 9 will reportedly feature a 438 x 438-pixel panel, with the 44mm Watch 9 and the Watch Ultra 2 sharing a larger 480 x 480-pixel screen. Samsung leaker Ice Universe has separately claimed the Ultra 2’s display could reach a peak brightness of 5,000 nits. RAM and storage vary by model, topping out at 2GB and 64GB.

The Ultra 2 keeps its titanium case and 100-meter water resistance; the standard Watch 9 remains aluminum, rated to 5 ATM. All models are said to include Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and dual-band WiFi, with the usual LTE variants, and ship with One UI 9 Watch running on Wear OS 7.

A separate leak puts the Galaxy Watch 9 at €409 (about $468) for the 40mm Bluetooth model, rising to €489 (about $560) for the 44mm LTE version, with the Watch Ultra 2 LTE at €749 (about $857) — figures Android Authority said were partially corroborated by Winfuture. Confirmation arrives on stage on July 22.
